Police and crime commissioner Keith Hunter has accepted an offer of £250,000 for the former police building

The money from the sale will be reinvested in police buildings and equipment for the force.

A PCC spokesman said: "The property has been on the market for some time and Clark Weightman, the force's property advisers, have received an offer of £250,000 and recommend that this should be accepted in view of the proximity of the offer to the asking price and the length of time is has been on the market."

Meanwhile, proposals to close Driffield's police station in Wansford Road and relocate to a shared base at the town's fire station have not moved any further.

The PCC spokesman said: "We are in ongoing talks with Driffield Town Council and Humberside Fire and Rescue regarding options for a possible relocation of a police base within Driffield town centre but the negotiations are still at an early stage and no firm decisions have been made."

The former Market Weighton police station in Beverley Road is also expected to be put up for sale later this month. The value of which is unknown.

The PCC spokesman said: "The consolidation and modernisation of the force estate, including the force restructure in 2014/15, has led to Market Weighton Police Station no longer being required as part of the operational estate.

"It is proposed that a marketing strategy for the police station is prepared and the property brought forward for disposal."
